Divorces In Iudlitnn.

Indiana is putting on airs over its i'm
proved morality in divorce matters. AL
though about 900 divorces are granted
yearly in the State, or an average Of
about sixteen to each Of it's ninety-two
counties, the Indianapolis Journal de-
cIHreS tuat the divorce laws Of the State
are not SO lax rs those of other States
and Territories, and III proof Of this as.
Sgrton rrcltcS the causes of divorce
the time required to gain residence
some OF the States. Indiana has sev,
statutory causes for divorce, and rcquir
two years residence. Ohio has nj
statutory causes and requires but one
years residence. Illinois has eight
causes and ono years residences; Mich
gan eight causes and one year; Iowa SIX
causes and one year; Wisconsin ten
causes and one year; Kansas nine cnrVcs
and one year; Nebraska and Nev&'a
each seven callsO8 and six months; \
ncsotn six causes and one year.; .
Colorado eight causes and ono year. IF
tho elovCn States included in this sum-
mary, Indiana is the only one requiring
from an applicant for divorce a two
years residence, but as the law enlarp-
ing the time from ono year to two has
not been III existence very long, it seems
hardly worth while to brag about it. A
State Of the size Of Indiana, that fur
nishos legal separation to 1000 couples
annually, must have rather easy divorce
laws or be populated by an exceedingly
unhappy lot Of married couples.

AS for the "broad culture" that CD ,

think it more than likely that the culture
obtained either in the Michigan OF
Misslsslppl Colleges would be quite as
broad, more practical and liberal, and
perhaps less egotlStic and superciliOus.
The Michigan College has twenty five
professors and tutors, the Mississippi
twenty-five, while our State University
mas only fifteen OF sixteen in all, ilclud-
ing the literary. classic and law depart
ments. Which, then, is best equipped
IN the way OF teachers? While agricul-
lure is the predominant feature in both
those colleges, they both teach certain
amount OF nearly everything, except law,
taught IN our State University, quite
enough, no doubt, for "broad culture, "
ana Tor all practical purposes as well.
Great stress is laid by 3D." on the
practical mechanical education that may
be obtained in the State University, and
he makes bitter complaint of some one
who 1T seems has denied this. He speaks
with triumphant pride, as did "Dixie"
before him, of the thirty to forty young
men III the workshop with coats of,

mechanical work. Now if training in
this branch is SO excellent, I can only
commend it, for insist that instruction
III the mechanic arts should be an i'm
portant part of any agricultural college,
as provided III the Act of Congress of
1857, and that the want of this in the
Mississippi College is a serious defect
That ought to be rcmcdicd. But we are
now discussing the question Of agricul-
tural and not of mechanical education,
SO let us keep to the subject. 1t is ali
very well for the prospective farmer to
study "klnematics" and "mechanical
technology" and that very "sl1illed
operation OF sharpening pioughs. But
L insist that there are very many other
and more important things for him to
learn, practically as well as theoretically.
Does the State University with its single

and its ten students in the agricultural
department, as "D." himself admits in
his last Article, teach these things
and to Il sufficient number?
Are we, an agricultural State, as "D."

our people" engaged in farming, content
to have only ten young men annually in

Very Great Heights.

pertinent was the means OF bringing to
light the almost forgotten faU, that when
a similar attempt was made twelve --~nTfs
ago, resulting in the attaining of an alti-
tude of %, 600 feet, three out of the four
aeronautS 8uccumbed to the strange at
mosphcrlc conditions and died before
they could descend. Perhaps many
0ther bold yoyagers have gone to simi-
,Sr Ei height and returned safely. One Mr..

on the season in which the ascension is
made and upon the atmospheric condi-
tlons at the start. Above the Himalayns
and the Andes, heights of about 10000
tcet have several times been attained
without any inconvenience. In these in
stances, however, the ascent has ALWAYS
been very gradual. Could slower rate

that the great height of nine or ten miles
would be attained in safety-at least
without danger to life.

TIE AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE.
ANOTHER ARTICLE ON AN INTER
ESTING SUBJECT.

a Comparison of the mississippi College
With tue South Carolina Collogc--Ths
Merits of Each Considered.
10 the Editor Of the News and Courier
A separate agricultural college is de
manded because the agricultural depart
ment of the South Carolina College has
not attracted large number of students
Capt. Tillman says two students have
studied o little agricultural chemistry.
Others concede eight or ten. Leu us
consider whether the College has Jailed
to attract the students it should have,
and, if so. whether the fault lies with the
plan of organization of the College, or is
to be sought elsewhere.
A recital of the Congressional Act of
1862, under which the land scrip was
given, will show the scope of the Act,
and will determine what classes of stu
dents are to be considered in receiving
it's benefits. 1t will be seen that:
First, there is no authority whatever
for the argument that the land scrip
fund should be devoted entirely to the
teaching of agriculture. l call special
attention to the words of the Act.
Section provides that the income of
the scrip shall be devoted "to the en-
dowment of ut least one college where
the leading object shall be, without ex-
Guiding other scientific and classical
studies and including military tactics, to
teach such branches of learning as are
yelated to agriculture and the mechanic
axis, and in such manner as the Lcgisla-
lures of the States may prescribe, in
order to promote the liberal and prncti-
cal education of the industrial classes in
the several pursuits and professions of
life"
The college receiving the money must
pay attention to mechanical arts equally
with agriculture, and must fit young
men, not for farming alone, Us Capt.
Tillman and "Outside Observer" would
have it, but for the several pursuits and
professions Of life. Not even classical
studies are excluded, and the education
must be "hberal" as well as "practical.
The South Carolina College fultiIs the
requirements of the Act of Congress

but has done very little damage to the

ties; while the damage from all these
causes has been considerable, the out,

which may further decrease the yield.

half have been preparatory students Wht
have practically studied no agriculture
and done no compulsory farm work
During the first five years, out OF al
aggregate attendance of oil students o.

to the 1st Of May of each year. Ibis II
said not in disparagement OF the Mlssls
sippi College, but as an answer to those
sanguine reformers who claim every ono
of these G57 boys as n finished farmer
and use him as bludgeon with which
to break the head of the South Carolina
College.
If all the "preps" and all others who
have left the Mississippi College before
tho end OF the freshman year be thrown
out of the reckoning, the comparison
made between these two institutions will
not be SO ''odiOuS."
A still further reason may be Qiyen for
tue largo attendance at the Mississippi
College. President Lees report shows
that during the year 1S84-5 "176
students went through tho entire session
on an average of $6S.23; 100 students on
al average of $53.G7; 50 students on an
average of $21.5G; 25 students on an
average of $l5.40. Six students paid
their way and had q balance of several
dollars to their credit" biennial re-
port, 18S4-95.)
This is the meal tub that contains the
cat!
The Mississippi College not only has
Tree tuition, but pays its students
bonus besides for work. Now, since this
labor is utterly unremunerative, entail
ing cost Of $32 bale for the mere
picking of cotton, it can be seen that the
College has generous taxpaying public
behind it, willing to suffer financial loss
IN order to cheaper education for de.
serving young men.
The South Carolina Legislature not
only offers no bonus to the student but
charges him $40 tuition. Many of those
who dwell SO strongly on the cheapness
OF education i'll Mississippi aided in set
ting up this barrier across the gateway
OF the South Carolina boy. In the name
of the farmers sons, and other mems
sons, why?
Now, if tho Mississippi Legislature
would withdraw this $4,000 bonus and
charge tuition, Gen. Lees College would
suffer fearful loss, as he himself would
testify. 1.-THE South Carolina Lepisla-
ture would follow NIisSissippi's present
P Pt0, "i' "ouio also open prepara-
tory school for one or two hundred boys
to enter the regular college
poor farmers sons and other
poor mems sons would flock in on all
sides from the mountains to the sea-
board, even if every one was required to
enter the agricultural course, and the
South Carolina College and the Reform
crs would alike be happy. &&
